Chapter 59: Divergence (First Order Please!)
The heavy rain stopped just like that, but Gwen's mood became worse.
How does it feel to find that the person you secretly love and your biggest enemy are shaking hands and hugging each other?
Fortunately, the question-and-answer community Quora was officially established a year later, otherwise Gwen felt that she could definitely be the highest agreeer on this question - with her writing skills that can get B+ even after skipping classes many times, it would not be difficult to beat a group of online trolls.
But the problem is that she just vowed to protect Raymond and regard him as someone as important as Peter Parker or even more important to herself, even if she has to risk everything to protect his life - he ran away to "conspire with his old enemy".
This made Gwen Stacy, who was frightened all the way, constantly confessing in her heart, vowing not to hide her feelings and not to deceive herself, look at herself at a small puddle on the rooftop, as if she was looking at a clown - the blonde girl could imagine what it would be like to put clown makeup on her face.
The girl turned around. She was a little angry at this time. Seeing an abandoned container next to her that was thrown here for some reason, she felt angry. Without thinking, she lifted the container with one hand and threw it aside. The poor, old and damaged container was thrown out by the girl with strange strength and hit the wall of the stairwell on the rooftop, and it was deformed all of a sudden.
But after venting, Gwen Stacy felt even angrier. The girl grinned, clenched her fists, and waved them in the air excitedly, and then she calmed down.
The water-blue eyes were brewing frustration in the calm. Gwen looked at the skyline of New York City with some sadness. In the colorful neon lights, the sunset was struggling to jump and fall in the heavy clouds, rendering the sky and the earth into a colorful watercolor painting. Gwen felt that her tone had cooled down.
Why did Raymond shake hands with Kingpin? How could Raymond shake hands with Kingpin?
The girl knew that Wilson Fisk was a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, but... but that was just a cover for his criminal behavior, just to facilitate his conspiracy to destroy New York and even the world. Gwen believed that Raymond knew this.
What was he doing with Kingpin? It couldn't be an ordinary business cooperation, right?
Did he think that he could persuade Kingpin to stop doing evil with words? Or did he think that he could get Kingpin into jail just like Obadiah was arrested last time?
Did he know that even if Kingpin was sent to jail, that terrifying guy could use the jail as his office and continue to remotely control the underground kingdom outside to commit various crimes. He could make all the legal provisions bypass him, leaving Spider-Man helpless.
Raymond wouldn't be so naive as to think that he could get rid of such a person by relying on the power of the system, right?
Kingpin himself was the white glove of the system, how could the system abandon him?
Gwen sat on the rooftop, and her right hand slammed on the railing next to her in anger, bending the railing a little. I don't know if she was angry because her worries were not fulfilled, or disappointed because Raymond and Kingpin hugged each other. In short, her mood was very unstable now.
The girl's chest rose and fell, and Gwen finally controlled her breathing for a long time. At this time, Raymond downstairs had sent Kingpin to the car, and waved to the gangster and philanthropist with a commercial and polite smile.
After Raymond sent Kingpin away, the professor looked up with some worry and looked at the tall building where Gwen was sitting - of course, the professor couldn't see Gwen clearly at this distance, he just subconsciously thought of Miss Spider, who had become more and more irritable and stubborn in recent days, and didn't say anything, as if she was deliberately quarreling with him -
I can't let her take risks like this!
When Kingpin just revealed Gwen Stacy's true identity to him, he knew how big a mistake he had made by bringing Gwen to California. From Stephanie to Kingpin, Gwen's secret identity is now known to everyone... It's a good thing that Gwen doesn't have any family members in this universe, otherwise...
The professor took a deep breath and turned around. He had secretly made up his mind that he would clean up his mess by himself... As for Gwen, it's better for her not to get involved in this matter.
————Dividing line————
Today, when Gwen Stacy walked into the laboratory, she had a smile like a spring breeze - this is rare to see. In the past, Gwen always looked worried and worried, and I don't know what she was worried about. But today...
Gwen's smile seemed to inject a breath of fresh air into the entire laboratory. However, as another beauty in Professor Xu's laboratory, Felicia watched coldly - she knew the girl's temperament privately, and something that could make her smile so ritualistically was definitely not a good thing.
Gwen smiled at everyone in a formal way, then threw her bag on the workstation and pushed open the door of Professor Xu's office without knocking.
"I understand. I will purchase the relevant raw materials through the company account." Professor Xu was talking on the phone with his new partner Wilson Fisk with his back to the office door.
"Ahem." Gwen stood behind the professor and coughed twice as a reminder.
Raymond turned around and saw the girl standing in front of the door. The girl who used to be full of emotions was surprisingly calm today. He couldn't even read the emotions called "frustration" or "loss" from her face. Her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were like statues.
"No problem, goodbye." The professor said the last few words to Kingpin on the phone. He had already guessed Gwen's purpose of coming here today. Raymond's expression also became serious. He threw his cell phone on the table and asked the first question to the girl who came to question her:
"When did you know that?"
"Have you ever thought about telling me?" The girl's voice was cold. She took a step forward and continued to press: "No matter what your purpose is, whether it is to defeat him or cooperate with him, when are you going to tell me?"
As Gwen finished speaking, Raymond was speechless for a moment as he looked at the blue eyes that finally showed sadness and disappointment in his eyes. He turned his head and forced himself not to stare into Gwen's eyes before he could give the answer he had already thought of: "This is not your business in the first place."
"Really?" Gwen laughed dumbly, "You want to exclude Ghost Spider-Man from Kingpin's matter. Do you know how much energy I spend on him?"
"But your method is useless." As if Gwen's words finally made Raymond find a loophole, the young man who was slightly older than Gwen grabbed a life-saving straw and retorted, "It's useless to send him to prison. , you should know.”
"So?" Hearing Raymond say this, Gwen actually relaxed a little - Oh my God! Fortunately, he still wanted to punish Kingpin, and he still knew that Kingpin was a heinous criminal!
"So I have to use my method." Raymond shrugged.
"Aren't you going to tell me in any way?" Gwen stepped forward again, "If I hadn't asked, would you have kept it secret from me?"
"Okay." Raymond shook his head. He knew that with Gwen's attitude today, if he didn't tell her that she was ugly, she would never give up. He sighed softly and replied: "You should know the story of the Trojan Horse. The strongest fortresses are conquered from the inside."
"You want to go undercover in Kingpin's criminal group? You?" Gwen suddenly frowned - what kind of bad plan is this? It would be okay if Professor Xu was an ordinary person, but he was the rotating CEO of Stark Industries. If he went undercover in such a public capacity, could his mentor have gone insane?
"No, of course not." Raymond's eyes slid away. Every time he looked at Gwen, his mind would be shaken, but every time he looked away from Gwen, he would strengthen his idea - Gwen Si If Daisy can't afford it, someone will naturally have to do it for her.
"You should know that even if you defeat Jin Bin, or even kill Jin Bin..." the professor took a sip of the tea on the table, "there will be something in New York, Yin Bin, Tong Bin, Iron Bin appear, all the time Even if you die from exhaustion, you won’t be able to kill all these so-called ‘underground emperors’.”
The professor raised his eyes from the calm tea cup and looked at the thin girl, his eyes softened a little: "Not to mention, you can't kill anyone."
Gwen was a little annoyed by Raymond's words, but she thought of the trouble caused by her refusal to kill, and immediately said a little lowly: "I know, but I just don't know. If I kill someone, what will happen to me?" What will it become?”
"Sometimes it's better not to kill." Raymond stood up and patted the shoulder of the blond girl standing lowly in front of him. "The private security guards of Stark Industries that you saved from the battlefield last time, Many people are willing to come forward to testify against Obadiah, which provides great convenience for our further legal claims..."
Gwen, who had been dealing with Raymond for some time, raised her head and looked directly into his black pupils, waiting for the "but":
"But..." As Gwen expected, every compliment Raymond gave at this moment would have a twist, "Sometimes, for the benefit of the public, it is necessary to take away lives... Let me tell you However, life is precious, but also very cheap, depending on how you look at it.”
"I just don't want to be the police, judge, and executioner at the same time." Gwen lowered his head, "I don't know what to do, but that kind of power scares me."
"It's a good thing that you have this intention, and I hope you can stick to this original intention." Raymond patted Gwen on the shoulder. He knew very well that every Spider-Man's no-kill principle has been through life and death. How could he change the test of death, blood and tears overnight?
